TLDR
In this article, the upwelling and removal of deep water in the circumpolar belt may be quantitatively related to the formation of new deep water from the interior of the ocean in the northern North Atlantic.About:

Glacial/interglacial variations in atmospheric carbon dioxide
Daniel M. Sigman,Edward A. Boyle +1 more
TL;DR: A version of the hypothesis that the whole-ocean reservoir of algal nutrients was larger during glacial times, strengthening the biological pump at low latitudes, where these nutrients are currently limiting is presented.

North atlantic climate variability: Phenomena, impacts and mechanisms
John Marshall,Yochanan Kushnir,David S. Battisti,Ping Chang,Arnaud Czaja,Robert R. Dickson,James W. Hurrell,Michael S. McCartney,Ramalingam Saravanan,Martin Visbeck +9 more
TL;DR: Variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Tropical Atlantic dominate the climate of North Atlantic sector, the underlying ocean and surrounding continents on interannual to decadal time scales as mentioned in this paper.

Closure of the meridional overturning circulation through Southern Ocean upwelling
John Marshall,Kevin Speer +1 more
TL;DR: A review of recent studies emphasizes the importance of wind-driven upwelling in the Southern Ocean for global ocean circulation as discussed by the authors, which plays a central role in the climate and its variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Midlatitude westerlies, atmospheric CO2, and climate change during the ice ages
TL;DR: In this article, an idealized general circulation model is constructed of the ocean's deep circulation and CO2 system that explains some of the more puzzling features of glacial-interglacial CO2 cycles, including the tight correlation between atmospheric CO2 and Antarctic temperatures, the lead of Antarctic temperatures over CO2 at terminations, and the shift of ocean's δ13C minimum from the North Pacific to the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocean Circulation Kinetic Energy: Reservoirs, Sources, and Sinks
Raffaele Ferrari,Carl Wunsch +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the physically different kinetic energy (KE) reservoirs of the circulation and their maintenance, dissipation, and possible influence on the very small scales representing irreversible molecular mixing.

Normal Monthly Wind Stress Over the World Ocean with Error Estimates
Sol Hellerman,Mel Rosenstein +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, wind and air-minus-sea temperatures are calculated in a form suitable for determining stress by any bulk aerodynamics model in which the drag coefficient can be represented by six or less coefficients of a second-degree polynomial in wind speed and stability.

The oceans : their physics, chemistry, and general biology
TL;DR: The book is intended to provide a good deal of factual information, but above all it should be an aid to the beginner and specialist alike in the coordination of the various fields of oceanography.

Interocean Exchange of Thermocline Water
TL;DR: In this paper, it is proposed that this return flow is accomplished primarily within the ocean's warm water thermocline layer, where the main thermoclines of the ocean are linked as they participate in a thermohaline-driven global scale circulation cell associated with NADW formation.
